With Corbin Burnes joining the Arizona Diamondbacks, Grayson Rodriguez represents their best internal candidate to ascend to ace status.

Have the Los Angeles Dodgers already said goodbye to Jack Flaherty? Flaherty had a nice bounceback season after a tough 2023 campaign. He posted a 3.17 ERA and 194 strikeouts in 162 innings, then had two excellent playoff starts for the Dodgers,

The Baltimore Orioles have been busy this offseason, but the status of their ace in 2024 has been looming over their heads.

There are not many external options to replace Burnes. He was the last of the free-agent aces to come off the board, following Blake Snell, who signed a five-year, $182 million contract with Los Angeles Dodgers, and Max Fried, who joined the Yankees for eight years and $218 million.
